Lorna Corrigan

Lorna Corrigan spent several years studying at Ormonde College in Kilkenny before joining the KCAT studio in 2004, where she continues to develop a prolific and unique body of work. She has shown work in numerous international exhibitions, and nationally. 

Lorna works primarily on paper and canvas with a range of media, including ink, acrylic and pastel. Many of her works depict memories of scenes that have captivated her, and by dreams she has had. Lorna’s depictions of her dreams have been heavily influenced by stylistic approaches within traditional aboriginal artwork. Her deeply personal works also often register a profound connectivity she feels with particular places, people, and the natural world. Ultimately, Lorna’s beautifully abstract and colourful works are fueled by an inherent intolerance for seeing the world in mundane ways. For the rest of us, it is a gift to catch a glimpse of the world through the eyes and sensibility of a storyteller who sees with an extraordinary sense of wonder and celebration. She makes the beauty and dream-like quality of life visible, if we truly open our eyes to see, if even for a moment.
